Oklahoma, state of many Indians,* spent last fortnight in a mist of political metaphysics. Four members of the Legislature accused Governor Henry S. Johnston of not being Governor. They said his secretary, small, attractive, dark-haired, formidable Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, was "Governor in fact." They asked Governor Johnston to call a special meeting of the Legislature to investigate himself (TIME, Dec. 5). How an alleged non-Governor could convene the Legislature, the legislators did not explain. Perhaps they thought Mr. Johnston would know because among his reputed misdemeanors was taking an interest in things psychic. But Mr. Johnston gave...

...Rump Parliament and the Tennis Court Oath now have their parallel or parody in the State of Oklahoma where Governor Johnston, in danger of being impeached, flees his nemesis by the efficacious course of placing bayonets before the door of any building where the impeaching body might meet. But these newly created men in the street, with none of the reputed indifference of the other citizens, have already instituted proceedings in what was literally an open session and a standing vote. And the five articles of complaint are but a fire-screen behind which rages the feeling against efficient...

...Governor Johnston says he doesn't now what he would do without the little woman. The angry politicians, to whom she has refused admittance, reply that they know what they will do with her, and with him too. They mutter that woman's place is not in the home, at least not in that of the Governor. At any event, this struggle of the Praetorian Guards with the senate, despite allegations of the electorial use of intimidation in Chicago, does not signify that the day has come when the superior armed force determines the local government. Bernard Shaw wrote...

...Adamson in The Muses' Threnodie used Rosicrucian paraphernalia-supernatural beings, alchemic formulae, astrological signs-to embody moral teachings. The ritual of Rosicrucianism today is guarded from uninitiates. There is in the U. S. a "Rosicrucian Fellowship" whose president, a Mrs. Max Heindel of Oceanside, Calif., lately declared Governor Johnston was no Rosicrucian. If he were, and should reach the sixth or "Adept" degree, he could build a new body for himself and live many a century, according to the doctrine. Five Brothers of the order live entirely without bodies, in the Temple, which is an "inner" world...
